"If something has memeable qualities, a man is not only right to meme it, but he is *obligated* to do so." -Thomas Jefferson

I doubt Childish Gambino would care that much.... Because The Internet.

"The only reason people become that person, is either because their head is fucked, or there's a paycheck" Legend.

wtf the Sun is WAY brighter than the Earth are you kidding me, we wouldn't have light without it

We live in a time where memes are talked about seriously. I love it

Well, this IS America, what do you expect.

donald glover called an album 'because the internet'. if anything, he'd love these memes.

there is no such thing as a wrong meme

if you watch at 1:19 a big message claims "I just had to add this point", as implying that Fantano forgot to add it to the video, but its just a distraction so we don't pay attention to the stuff that's going on in the background, where you can see Fantano intentionally making time because he already knows that he is going to add that point while editing the video. Wow so deep

The kinds of people who are against making This is America memes are the kinds of people can't meme anyway.

Telling the internet not to meme is like telling 6ix9ine to not make awful music

imagine a guy that only wears flannels and bandname t-shirts making fun of someone else's outfit

Childish Gambino could never make a statement as deep as Gucci Gang.

"if someone doesn't like yoko ono they're close minded, their appreciation for music doesn't run deep and they're morons" -Anthony Fantano

I wish Anthony Fantano was in the new Avengers movie

Did he just try to shame people into appreciating Yoko ono

To say a person's music taste is shallow because you don't like Yoko Ono I think is a little much. I enjoy Death Grips, but I can easily see how someone couldn't like them and don't think they're ignorant for disliking their music. At the end of the day it's all about personal taste.

Like to release Despacito 2

i was struck a little bit by your mention of anxiety, i didn’t expect you to be someone who experienced that mental illness bc you seem to present yourself as quite confident and not worried about how ppl perceive you bc as someone with crippling anxiety that’s the stuff i’m worried about the most. but either way it’s comforting to know that someone i look up to has endured similar hardships

5:50 he's talking about you, /mu/

Memes are not allowed, irony and criticism are also a no no

Cal is the greatest rapper in the game and he'll be The Beatles of this generation.

The point of the Yoko thing was to just write her off without actually listening to her and just saying she’s bad because that’s the mainstream (I think she is not that good)

“To be fair, you need to have a very high IQ to understand Yoko Ono”

People taking memes seriously should be a meme

how can sun 0))) be darker than earth if it's literally the thing that light up the earth 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

You can say Yoko is cool and all. But saying that she is one of the most influential performers of that generation is a bit too much.

I guess Chuck Berry doesn't have great music appreciation as he looked ready to kill Yoko the second she started "singing" when they preformed together.

1:19 that footage was kind of disturbing, does fantano just record himself sniffing with every video

2:51 we reviewing the solar system now anthony? Ok then will you finaly review uranus!?

Wow Anthony, way to be all up on your high horse with Yoko Ono. As if they're aren't perfectly valid reasons for why someone wouldn't enjoy her music or singing voice.

I'm so glad you're not experiencing those panic attacks like you did in the past. I love your channels and I'll keep supporting your work!

“you can’t stop the meme” ....tell that to fader

You seriously underrate The Sun's Tirade

The thing about Yoko is I can say she isn’t a great singer but that was kind of the point But really she is more of a post modern art freak than a musician I mean just look at that video of John and Yoko playing with Frank Zappa Frank was not too happy with her input

"If you don't like Yoko Ono you're shallow" - Anthony Retardano

I can't believe people are getting triggered over memes

Anthony, your silence on this Ameer Vann/Brockhampton issue has been deafening

You lost me with the respect towards Yoko and I'll be that guy you're ridiculing by saying that she does suck. I'm sure she does it intentionally, but just because it's intentionally irritating doesn't mean it's art. It's just irritating. I'm sure Chuck Berry would agree based on his performance with her.

3:00 I THOUGHT HE WAS MAKING A JOKE ABOUT THE PLANET EARTH AND THE LITERAL SUN I NEED TO CATCH UP ON MY METAL.

There are memes about 9/11 and I haven't seen a melon video about it so no, there is nothing wrong with This Is America memes

I agree that Isaiah is not the 2nd best artist on TDE, but the Sun's Tirade was incredible, same goes for Cilvia Demo. Easily better albums than CTRL and Control System FOR ME. good video melon.

If memes are wrong, I don’t wanna be right

So if someone doesnt like yoko ono their taste and appreciation for music doesnt run that deep? Who died and made you the god of music?

Are Melon memes wrong?

ThatISthony ThePlantano

Gosh I love how rational he is. So hot

“Somehow Russ is still taking an L for this.”

Anthony “this is an ethnostate” fantano

*THIS IS AMERICA DONT CATCH YOU SHITTIN THOUGH*

YOKO ONO?? WHY AM I WATCHING THIS CHANNEL???

"You dont like this artist so your appreciation for music is shallow" I love you melon, but that was dumb

LETS ARGUE: Fortnite is only popular because it’s free.

PLEASE BRING BACK THATISTHEPLAN!!

I love how in the one Let’s Argue where he’s wearing a red flannel he’s very angry. How characteristic.

😂 All the comments triggered by his Yoko Ono take. He wasn’t saying you have to like Yoko Ono’s music. He was saying people who completely disregard it’s artistic merit are shallow and closed minded. I personally dislike a lot of classic rock, but I can appreciate the technical ability, storytelling, and singing in a lot of songs. Yoko Ono was well versed in Japanese Imperial Court music, Gagaku. This style used a quavering voice to imbue heavy emotion into the singing. She mixed some of her traditional influences with western music in a radical way that was pretty experimental. If you don’t personally like how the experiment turned out that’s fine. But don’t dismiss her work entirely.

Memes NEVER wrong. they are always right. Without memes there is no art . without memes there is no life.

Let's argue: Five Finger Death Punch is the most overrated and bland Metal band of this generation. There is nothing special about their music and they sound like a wanna-be light version of their obvious inspirations

Kendricks most mediocre album about the same as pumps peak. Relax silly boies.

You should do a best teeth in the game edition of Let’s Argue.

*THEY DONT WANNA SEE ME WIN CAUSE IM A MELON*

Yoko Ono does suck, though.

That bit about Yoko ono got real iffy at the tail-end.. and if it was meant lightly or sarcastically, you didn't do a very good job showing it. Low moment for you mildthony disappointmentano

Person: commenters on Anthony fantano videos Butterfly: decent to strong 7. Commenter: is this a DAMN?

Pet sounds is better than sgt. peppers

The sun's tirade was better than Ctrl. Crucify me now.

Cilvia Demo is easily the best TDE project put out by someone other than Kendrick. Oxymoron in contention too.

I appreciate that your videos aren't click bait and the titles are the first thing discussed

So what youre saying is you like Yoko Onos music/singing? Call me an artistically shallow rube, ill take ad-homs. But ive never heard an album, let alone a song from her that i found enjoyable. Ironically i found her stuff to be pretty shallow in its artistic depth. If you have a favorite song or album from her that you think i should give another try, please give me a revommendation. P.S. : Youve been coming off more pretentious and flippant lately. Whats going on big guy?

The same people who say that are the same ones who think Black Panther is a better movie because he's black

The point that you made at 5:40 is something that I am starting to realize and I am glad you were able to articulate it so well.

Good to hear you found a sense of purpose with your YT channel. I'm still in the part of my early adulthood where I feel a looming sense of dread with every choice I make because I can't crystal-ball into the future to see if the choices I'm making are the ones that lead to a prosperous future. WlLd.

Well America is a meme sooo

How can you like Yoko Ono? I do not understand. Seems like pretentious contrarians would like her

I mean I can see your point with Yoko Ono but that ship has sailed

10:28 Anthony getting off to be that heckler in 20 years

Yoko Ono, Lil Pump, Cardi B, Kanye West, Lou Reed... Anthony's music taste in a nut shell.

I die a little inside each time he says that DAMN is Kendricks most mediocre album.

Alt-rightony Opiniontano here spreading the word of memeing This is America.

3:42 "Oh, you like numbers? How about four? As in 'four-k you!'" -Yahtzee Croshaw

5:06 we live in a society

I agree with Isaiah being the second best. IMO his albums I rate over CTRL and Control system but that's just me

3:20 I thought you were talking about astronomy.

Damn is better than section.80 Anthony

but isaiah rashad IS the second best member

9:21 ........NOT death metal .........

Donald Glover definitely knew that it would happen, he saw what happened with redbone. If anything I think he expected it and that's one of the reasons why he took Jim Carey's facial expressions as an influence, and the popular dances that can be edited to go to other tracks, and does it in such an exaggerated fashion. If anything he welcomes sampling and remixing the video into other things as he knows that people, he knows the influence of the internet and what editing a video can do for his own gain. Melon

Okay, hear me out. At the very least, Yoko Ono offered John Lennon a door into some truly crazy music shit. If he had done two drone and shriek albums with him we would still be listening to them. Every resource was available for any kind of enlightenment journey and that was Lennon's professed goal. And he said no and kept doing what had worked before for him. And it sucked. Yoko was terrible but nobody was better equipped to handle her weird shrieking musical career in some way than John Lennon and he just chose not to. He did absolutely nothing about it. It's a really weird decision if you ask me

Cilvia Demo was better than Control System tho

0:19 This Is America memes arn't bad 2:05 Yoko Ono was the most influential writer/performer of her generation 2:51 Sunn O))) is an edgier version of Earth 3:42 Making reviews one numerical rating is unfair 4:58 Who cares about Elon Musk/Grimes? 6:23 Isaiah Rashad is the 2nd best member of TDE behind Kendrick 6:36 Lil Peep's death should've been a wakening call for mumble rappers 7:54 I miss your older self 8:34 You're too soft on mainstream trap

Let’s argue, Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino IS A MASTERPIECE

Everything is a meme now.

If you need to ask if memes are wrong, you've already shown you don't understand the internet. Also, Yoko Ono's music is utter garbage. Bite me, lol.

I was a fan of Donald when he was doing Derrick comedy. His first projects as childish Gambino was borderline lampooning hip hop. He's as self aware as anybody in show business. I still want him to do a mystery team sequel just because he can.

You can meme anything it’s in the constitution

Did you really have to [insert extremely offensive thing]??

Ah he's finally explained his rating scale, and honestly I totally agree

I agree with the whole stopping memes thing, I mean people tried that with the whole "he will not divide us" meme and look where that got us

Melon standing for SZA is the religion I never knew I needed

You’re gonna regret sleeping on Zay Rashad. Sun’s Tirade is a great album
